"Open Amiga? OS4 going open source? "
I agree with previous posters. If you want people to contribute you need to make it run on hardware anyone can afford. And also, starting an open source initiative for a closed source os is definitely cause for ridicule.
Why would people work for free on an os that is not open while they are selling 1000$ motherboards to run this os on and keeping all the money?
I also agree they are just looking for cheap (free) labor. You want to sell your os? Then PAY developers.
Thats ludicrous. IMHO.
